Abstract :
It is shown that nonchaotic power system models can have complicated truncated fractal basin boundary structure. A brief survey of research in power system stability over the last five years is presented. Methods for assisting in teaching the basics of the theory with simple numerical examples at the senior level or a first year graduate course in engineering are outlined using computer techniques
